I personally wouldn’t recommend obsidian (mentioned at the end of the article), but still, I think the article is worth reading.

    I prefer plaintext writing for a couple reasons:

    • Plaintext is readable everywhere and by anyone. It’s effortless to make an app that views it in different ways or a tool handles it in any way you want (like searching, organization, etc). I don’t have to stick to whatever Microsoft decided as rich format.
    • the baseline IS plain text. I should ask myself, what does this other rich format offer me? Some use cases are justified. But otherwise, you’re adding obscurity for no reason.
